Accounting Qualifications for a FORMER Investment Banker

Hey Monkeys,

I'll be going to policy school soon! I'm trying to decide which is the best accounting qualification that I could do in the next 6 months before I go to grad school. I want something that could help if I ever decide to open my own business!

I have nearly 3 years of IBD experience but I would never say I know "accounting" - I want something that could help :)
